ZAINE Francis-Angol is in line to make his first start for Motherwell this weekend at Kilmarnock.

The wing-back made his second appearance from the bench in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with St Johnstone at Fir Park after Stevie Hammell was sent off.

With Hammell suspended for the trip to Rugby Park, the 19-year-old is expected to get the nod. And Francis-Angol hopes to help Stuart McCall’s side record their first win of the season.

He said: “We have managed a couple of draws so far but hopefully we can start a winning streak and get some more points on the board.

“I was pleased to get on and get some game time last Saturday and hopefully I can get a few more games under my belt. I normally focus on working hard before every game so that won’t change much. I will just carry on doing what I’ve been doing.”

The teenager admitted he’d settled in fairly quickly after moving north from Tottenham last summer and establishing himself as a star of the Under-19s team.

Francis-Angol said: “Coming to Motherwell was a big change of scene but when I got here, the fans were great and everyone was so welcoming.

“It was a long way from home and obviously I’m still young but I feel I have adapted well.

“There are far better opportunities at Motherwell than down south, where there can be five people ahead of you in your position. It’s a great club to be at right now. I’m an attacking wing-back so I love going forward.”
